Who It's For

This HEARTGARD Plus formula is ideal for dog owners who need a convenient monthly heartworm preventive for small dogs up to 25 lbs and prefer a chewable that pets will readily eat. It fits households where vet guidance is followed and owners want combined protection against heartworms plus common intestinal parasites in one dose.

Owners of dogs larger than 25 lbs, pets with known sensitivities to the active ingredients, or those seeking non-chewable or topical options should look elsewhere. Always consult a veterinarian for prescription guidance and to confirm the product is appropriate for a specific dog.
